Week 6: First Donation Milestone- Lets make it worth my while!

Wow! The end of the month has come so quickly. This has been a very confronting month. Highs, Lows, sugar cravings, Because I have never embarked on something of this nature- a very public journey- I wasn't sure how it would all work out. With some walking and some small adjustments in my diet I have finally moved some numbers on the scale! I didn't do anything silly, or really even eat much salad! I just made up my mind that I wanted to make myself healthier and happier. I am glad that things have shifted for me mentally and now physically and I look forward to even greater success next month.

I started at 96.9 kilos and am happy to announce that 

this morning I weighed in at 92.7 Kilos! Thats 4.2 down and 21 to go!

First donation milestone- four kilos down!

 So far this month I had received pledges that meant that each kilo lost was worth $17/kg. 

Thats more expensive than bananas! 

For me to achieve my $1000 goal,

losing 25 kilos along the way,

I really need to accumulate $40/kg.

So please PLEASE PLEASE pledge a couple of dollars per kilo and commit to the project for as long as it takes me. I have faith that my friends and supporters can hang in there with me. Thankyou in advance!

Week 5: Back on the Wagon!

Good morning fellow followers!

Firstly let me apologise for my seeming lack of motivation, enthusiasm and all those other warm and fuzzy feelings that I started this journey with. 

Truth is- this is hard. If it weren't hard we would all be trim and terrific.But when it is hard- I need to remember why I am doing this. And this is why even when I have had crap weeks I still front up and blog.

So thanks for hanging in there with me.

This week I am happy to report that I am officially back on the wagon!

That's another half a kilo!

Our family has had some rather tragic things happening for people health wise this past few weeks and I realised that although I can't heal those that are sick (I wish!) but I can do my best to help heal myself. I am the only one in charge of my weight and the health concerns that come with being morbidly obese- and I am ready to get my body back into "living" properly again!

Seeing as next Mondays will be the official end-of-the-month for the first donation tally- I am going to work extra hard to avoid temptation and to get my butt out there and exercise!

Watch this space.

If you haven't already done so.... please leave a comment and pledge an amount per kilo you would like to donate to World Hope Australia- each and every dollar gives me another reason to stay on the wagon!

I look forward to Mondays weigh in with enthusiasm again!

Week Four: Nothing to see here people

Ok. So I plateau'd again and I am furious with my husband for bringing home Rocky Road Chocolate. Yes it is his fault. Not mine for also consuming Noodle Box. Definitely not mine. I am even more furious that I have walked 5-6 kilometres three times this week without a movement on the scale!

So... nothing to see here people.

I hope to have better news next week.

Call me... harrass me... leave  a motivating comment.

I need it!

Week Three: Back on Track!

Good morning my faithful readers. I am not going to rave on today. I am simply going to be grateful for a couple of things.

• The weather looks like improving which means I can take the pram out some more.
• My family have stayed healthy and are enjoying the extra time together walking and cooking.
• We have discovered a walking track around the creek which is pram friendly and 6km's long.
• I have enlisted the help of my loving husband who is now also helping with the pram pushing- which means an increased pace in the walking!
• My knee is continuing to hang in there despite the conditions it has been put under. I promise knee- you will not have to keep moving with this much weight upon you soon.

And of course... I had a loss this week! 0.6kgs which brings my new total to 3.1kg.

If you didn't catch the last entry- I will be combining the Sept total of 2.5 to the October total for the first collection/donation to World Hope Australia who is working on a project to remove children as young as 4 or 5 from the sex trafficking industry in Cambodia. This is one of the reasons I get up and moving every day- so I can make a difference to children that we don't see or hear about. So please leave a message of support on the bottom of this blog and pledge a donation so I know that it is worth it and that I am doing a good job!

Hope you all have a great week and I look forward to seeing what I can achieve next week and for the entire month!

XOXO

Week 2: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

Good morning fellow followers! Firstly my apologies that this weeks blog is a day late. It is only late and not missing completely because I made a decision at the beginning that I would use this platform with transparency and that I would always honestly record my weeks efforts and results. Well that's all well and good but I actually thought I wasn't going to have a bad week. It was all false hope that I would never need to report a god awful failure of a weigh in.

The good news is I am really being melodramatic. It was a rainy week and I wasn't able to get out with the pram walking pretty much at all which meant that although I was eating pretty good (there was a half bag of chicos consumed on Grand Final day along with a couple of party pies... ok I admit it) it just was not going to be an influential week.

Coinciding with a certain regular hormonal event- which usually renders me 2kg heavier with fluid- like clockwork- also meant that despite a good week last week I have been feeling rather down with the " I am kidding myself it is never going to happen" vibes.

So this morning I thought- "Girl get off your chair, go weigh in and STOP being a sook. It won't be that bad!" and though I expected them to have this reading:



In fact, though I felt heavier- in body and spirit- I haven't gained weight! YAY. So I am still 94.4. I would have loved to have tipped the scales (so-to-speak) for the last week of September for a great September total. But alas it was not meant to be. So those first 2.5 kg I will roll into the October count for those of you who have ACTUALLY offered to pledge- hold onto your cash and we will add it into the end of this month!

I promised you the Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Week 2 and I am already confessing to hormonal sugar eating and allowing the weather to flake on the exercise. Hell, I even considered cheating on the scales for the photo and trying to "make it back" next week so that I didn't let you down. But, yesterday, the boys and I were out walking in the sunshine all day and I know next week will be a whopper of a week (not the hamburger, just a great week) and this one will soon be forgotten. STAY TUNED!

Thanks for hanging in there with me and I look forward to an amazing week this week. I couldn't have gotten this far without the blog (usually this is the "give up now and try again later" point) but I have had soooo many people offering support and joining in their own way that I just have to keep going! So Thanks!
